Lauren not saying anything?

Lauren and her father are in contact as we know, its no secret he's been charged now everyone knows. Are we supposed to believe for a second she would allow her boyfriend's half brother to get away with something at the expense of her father? The Beales doing it is one thing but Lauren? I don't believe that nor do I think she would allow it to go on in character. That isn't Lauren she simply isn't that evil. For that reason alone Max doing any sort of time makes no sense. Whether he would admit to or not. I really hope this isn't Max' long exit as I wont be able to believe in the characters involved I am afraid.

Lauren would (and I believe will) come to Max's rescue. She'll probably finish with Peter when he agrees to let Max go down and head straight to Walford. What won't make sense is how long I expect her to take to get to Walford.

Are we to believe no one tells Lauren what's going on?

They have friends and relatives in Walford. A case local to their friends would be all over their Facebooks etc. Max not calling his daughter for a long time makes no sense. She would wonder why. There is not a chance in hell she wouldn't know. The world communication wise is a lot smaller, if he is in there for anytime (ie more than a week) Lauren would know straight away something is up. EE needs to think this out. I talk to my relatives abroad often and for free.
If she comes to his rescue it will have to be a real elaborate lie but I cant see her allowing it to happen then to someone else. I think in character she would tell all. That's why I think Kathy will make no difference here as I don't believe she will grass up her grandson either but I will be curious to see how others take that.

Lauren doesn't have Facebook. She deactivated her account when she left Walford, I know because we're friends. She talks to Abi on the phone every couple of weeks but Abi is currently avoiding her because she grassed Max up, so she's currently keeping it from her.

Peter has also not used his Facebook since he lived in Devon so he's forgotten his password and doesn't bother logging in. He's also not in contact with his family.

The above potentially buys us at least a month until Lauren finds out, and we don't know if Max is on remand for longer than a few days.

As a parent I do not believe for a minute he doesn't contact his pregnant daughter for a month at a time. Nope don't buy it not from Max. A parent on here wants to tell me if their child was pregnant they wouldn't be contacting for that period of time? Pull the other one. I talk to my siblings who live abroad more often then that.
Its ridiculous she wouldn't know.

This is the same Max who walked out on Rachel and Bradley when he was a child?
The Max who had an affair with his sons wife up to her wedding day?
The Max who was prepared to marry Tanya whilst married...
The Max who conned Phil Mitchell out of his business using his son, also his daughters boyfriend...
The Max who fell out with Lauren before she left Walford to start afresh?

I can believe 100% that he doesn't talk to her regularly. He'll see it ok that "Tanya does that and she said she's fine".

You say you talk to your siblings often. I assume you and your relatives aren't the Branning family? That would be why.

No one in Walford knows that Lauren is pregnant; her and Peter haven't told their families as far as we know, and Max and Abi think she had an abortion. She's heavily pregnant right now. We know Jossa has returned to filming so I'm sure it won't be long until Lauren and baby are back in Walford to stir things up. It's just an unfortunate result of Jossa's maternity leave coinciding with Jake Wood's exit. I don't know why people are getting stressed about it - Lauren vs the Beales is going to happen, just as soon as Jossa is back on screen, which is why it's not happening right now.

Its odd we have had no mention of the Baby. I can't buy Lauren not telling Abi and Max or Whitney.

Jossa's returned to filming? Since when (out of curiousity)?

Rather conveniently, she'll probably be reaching the stage of her pregnancy where she's not able to fly, and there's probably not much she can do all the way over in New Zealand anyway. I should imagine that Maxgate is the thing that brings her back to Walford though. The ultimate rock and a hard place.

I saw an article where she had taken her partner and their children to the set, I assumed it was just for a visit but our very own Mormon Girl visited the set recently and saw Jacqueline while she was there, and I doubt she popped in to say hi on two separate occasions so close together.

Its on rumours at this stage because she has visited the set more than once in recent weeks( Once could be a visit. Multiple times not.

I imagine Carol will have her on the phone soon enough. That should give us Lauren's stance on the matter.

In a murder investigation they would take a statement from abroad. She could easily dump Bobby in it. They would test the house (as they should have done with luminol) first time round and Jane's car. Stuff a few specks on Max's shoes her blood would be all over that area and in the car. Head wounds bleed.
Just being abroad and not being able to travel due to just giving birth would no way hinder a crime as serious as this when taking a statement.
No way would she let her dad rot inside. I don't believe it at all. But yes she is due to give birth soon.

They'll find Lucy's blood all over the car lot, not the house.

Yeah I know she got injured there but if Lauren told the truth they would test the house. Don't forget Jane had to clear it up. The luminol would clearly show any blood even cleaned blood and the boot of Jane's car something she can not explain. Max actually has an explanation nobody can explain blood in the boot of a car. There is no way a fatal head wound did not bleed. In fact the amount of blood the test would detect would be able to say nobody could live on that much blood loss. But the boot is the most damning and Max would be cleared if Lauren told the truth.

They'll probably go down the route of "no one tell Lauren we don't want to worry her" until she returns.

I agree with you Jade. Lauren would be in touch with her family and friends in Walford. Tanya, Carol, and Whitney could all tell her even if she hasn't heard from Max or Abi. Then if she is too pregnant to fly home they will have her doing a video conference with Walford police station to make a statement. They will also want to interview Peter and I don't think he would lie to keep Max in prison knowing that he is innocent.

Max and Lauren hadn't fallen out on the day she left

Since Lauren is heavily pregnant right now she won't be able to fly back but she may be planning what she will do to Abi, Ian, Jane and Cindy.
